The Trimmer Construction Education Foundation's mission as a non-profit, charitable organization is to generate funds in order to award scholarships and grants in support of construction education and workforce development initiatives in colleges, universities and ABC chapters nationwide.
The Trimmer Construction Education Foundation funds scholarships for students enrolled in two- or four-year construction-degree programs who are ABC student chapter members. Employees of ABC member firms and members of their families are also eligible for these scholarships.
Trimmer funds have also been used in times of crisis to assist ABC chapters and chapter staff members in their recovery from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and other disasters. In addition, funds from the Trimmer Construction Education Foundation support the National Craft Championships competition, the Student Chapter Construction Management Competition and ABC's "Day on the Hill" Fellowship, where members of student chapters compete to win a trip to Washington, D.C. to participate in ABC's Legislative Conference.
Today's construction industry is limited only by the shortage of qualified workers. Contributions to the Trimmer Construction Education Foundation support bold and innovative initiatives and projects that will attract outstanding young men and women to the industry, training them to be skilled professionals and providing them with career paths in merit shop construction.
